Linus: "My screws are just as good as your screws!" Also Linus: "Wait, let me see if I have better screws." Also also Linus: "Well, that's.. fine then. Isn't it?"
Well as an electrician he already probably has a job, and likely a better payed one than at a TH-cam channel office. Although I'm sure LTT has great salaries nonetheless
Miguel Angel - Linus could hire Brian to appear in videos as a contractor doing electrical jobs like this one. That’s the only way he could afford him.
Even if the electrician really did triple the rate he's still making out like a bandit since he can write off the charger as a business expense and conservatively made like 3000 dollars on the video considering the view count.
@@jbdragon3295 if you watched his video on air conditioning his house he said it cost him about $5k to do the job and was quote $25k to have it done professionally. That means essentially he was quoted for $20k in labor! Da fuck?!
Better than pulling a Nick, when i was doing construction we had a dude put a ring shank nail through the knuckle of his thumb when he was putting exterior sheeting on a newly framed wall. Stuck himself right to the wall. He never lived that one down... He's union now 🤦♂️🤦♂️
And the Electrician proceeds to explain why its just fine to work on hot 240V service. And laughs at Linus for suggesting that maybe that isn't completely safe? Wow dude.
I like this Brian electrician guy, does stuff mostly right and it still works, just like Linus lmao I hope he helps on the office chargers install Linus said was gonna happen at some point
@rogerwilco99 the U.S. standard is the asset has to be used more than 50% for business purposes, and the amount of the deduction is based on percentage of business use
Not sure how they do it up there but in the US its common to charge by the hour. If somebody wanted to waste time running around turning a 20 min job into a 2 hour one i would jump on it
of course if you charge by the hour let it waste all the time that he wants, where im from (argentina) this kind of little jobs are charge by the work it self, so you want to do it quickly and be done with it

Theres a Siemens plant not far from me, they manufacture the rotor blades for wind turbines. Across the highway is a chemical plant called...climax. I shit you not. So we have both seimen and climax.
@@iaial0 yep, first was freuhauf, a semi trailer manufacture. While it was running climax opened sometime in the eighties. After freuhauf closed, seimens opened in the mid 2000's.
I've had that Siemens unit for 5 years to charge my BMWi3(gone now thankfully),my 2015 Spark EV and the same color Volt as yours but the 2017 model. Still a flawless product. Takes about 4-5 hours to charge the Volt. You can delay the start time up to 8 hours in 2 hour increments and it pulsates green while charging!
Crazy coding cat Because an electrician get paid extremely well. Whether starting off or being full time. In Canada the average salary is $39 an hour. No way in hell Linus pays his employees that amount. He mention in a video how strictly budget the employees salaries are
BTW, Siemens is an incredibly high-quality and reputable brand in the EE industry. They make all sorts of stuff that is very high-end and long-lasting. So kudos and good choice!
@@RiamiAurum Carpenter here and regardless if screw is longer or shorter. Under no circumstances do u put your hand behind the board. Faulty boards can easily split and pierce the hand
Just an observation Linus, but I would recommend that you get better insulation between your garage and the area above. if it's connected to the house (which I assume it is based on the fact that it's insulated at all), having a poor insulation layer is gonna make that room cold. also if you improve the insulation it would be good to also air seal that ceiling while your up there, because garages are subject to all sorts of fumes that can lower your in-home air quality.
German being my first language, I never thought about how the brand name Siemens would sound in english. Linus bringing it up made me have a good chuckle - it is an unfortunate name to pronounce in english. It also promted me to look up when Siemens was founded, since checking your brand name in other languages while not beeing standard is at least somewhat done these days - and turns out Siemens was founded 1847.... let that sink in... they've been around before both great wars and even before the american civil war. Darn they got some history.
That explains how seimens got everywhere. I mean i go to a hospital, and i see seimens on every machine they have; their walls, ceilings, floors-all covered in semens. Guess that's why they choose white for most of their equipment.
I really enjoy Linus's eagerness to learn. When he has someone that knows things he doesnt he gets all wound up. lots of respect for Linus's thirst for knowledge.
Well, it is not so difficult to install computer-stuff as an electrician.... Combine that with some Linus-Humor and thats it, next video is done for you guys.
@@Canuckrz don't know about Canada but in NZ that's standard sparky gear for the town contractor. Most of the "proper" tools are unnecessary, there was one old fella that cuts through live wires with simple tin cutters since he knew what he was doing (don't try this at home kids)
@@HelloKittyFanMan. by simply watching the video, really. I mean every single plastic handle screwdriver that doesn't have some stupid metal running across the handle is insulated, but the ones sold for this very purpose had all the shaft covered in plastic as well, to avoid any slips or touching sides.
Yes, the Chevy Volt is discontinued. I purchased a used 2017 with around 20,000 miles on it and less than 1000 were gas. It seems like the previous owner was a "high-miler (obsessed with getting max electric range by frugal acceleration and breaking)" and the friction brakes felt like they had almost never been used. My new job is 40 miles away. New Job offered to install a charging port for me. I might get a second and in 2 years, I plan on getting a 2019.
@@Cowcow211 Then instead you'll electrocute everything and consequently set the house on fire since its made out of wood. Even worse than oil based paint.
Linus. If you still have the Volt you should know that it is not a hybrid but a full electric car known as an Extended Range Electric Vehicle. The gas generator only supplies electricity to run the electric motors in the car when required.
wait the T-Force Xcalibur DDR4 Ram has Ultra-wide 120° angle lighting powered by T-FORCE BLITZ RGB software, decorated with a unique Totem pattern design, and Intel XMP 2.0 one step overclocking technology? and you are telling me I can get a 16GB (2 x 8GB) kit for the low low price of $249.99 with $0.99 Shipping (restrictions apply)? WOW! what a great deal!
lol, I kill my main before touching the fuse-box too. Unless I'm just resetting a breaker or something, but I don't add/remove breakers with it hot, so I'm with ya there, Linus. Clean install for sure! What is this about car reviews? lol, This was a year and a half ago and I haven't seen any car reviews here!
Rory Christel he might be a great guy, but his electrical practices are way off. One, he should of isolated the entire switchboard before removing the panel, two, was was not using the correct screw drivers.
daniel5620 regular klien screwdrivers are fine on 120VAC, it's more than sufficient insulation for that voltage. And lol at isolating a breaker panel, how green are you?
@@daniel5620 Uncommon in Canada to turn off panels when working on them. Uninsulated screwdrivers are also the norm here. Both practices are changing slowly. We rely heavily on our CSA steeltoe boots which are 10000v rated as long as they have the omega symbol present.
Daniel M honestly, you're not using your boots. Pretty much any pair of thick rubber soles would work at these voltages. I can grab a live 277VAC wire while wearing my Vibram sole McRae's and still not get hit, as long as I'm mindful about where the rest of my body is.
I have the same car, same year, same color! Just FYI: the stock charger is capable of level 2 charging with a cheap $60 adapter. Should add that in and save people some money! No need for a large charger.
Still though, if you're going to invest in an electric car and intend to eventually replace it with another electric, it makes sense to install the permanent charger on its own breaker. Plus you won't forget to bring the stock charger with you on longer journeys because you just keep it in the car.
Props to Linus on Being Safe, The Electrician can loose his license because of working on live wire without proper equipment, arc flash burns are the worse.
I had an electrician install my Clipper Creek level 2 charger for my Chevy Volt. I switched from an electric range to a gas one because I prefer them and that freed up a 30 amp 220V breaker on my panel. The job only took an hour and so far so good....!!

I wish I would have seen this before doing mine. However, I got it done and it works well. Made sure everything was done safely and right after research. That’s it. Do your research.
Little "nerd-fact": One of the founders of Siemens was Werner von Siemens and he is considered the founder of modern electrical engineering, especially the electrical energy technology. As an honour, the unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance and electric admittance, Siemens (S), is named after him.
wow, i like the armored cable. We have nothing like that where i live. But that breaker box looks so old fashioned. We are lightyears ahead here. ( yes, i am a sparky )
And 2 minutes later he's giving instruction on how not to disembowel yourself with a carpet knife, it's so adorable, like watching your apprentice try and drive boom lift, or a fawn taking it's first steps.
@@shishkebab64 True but I don't recon that's a likely scenario if you pick the right screws and use half a brain cell while doing your work. And then ofc a clutch drill helps with this.
Hi Linus! Love your content! I'm a Tesla owner if that blue wire is ground please wire it up because an EV charger without ground a storm away from frying. Estimated charge by this LV2 set up for the volt is 2.5 hours tops :) welcome to the EV community that was a wise purchase

Siemens in the UK used to have an office in the town of Staines. If you rang them they'd answer with: "Siemens, Staines."

“50 an hour for labor, 100 an hour if you wanna watch, 150 an hour if you wanna help”. That’s what this reminds me of.
300 an hour if you tried to fix it first.

Hire him Linus. Hire him. Anyone who likes messing with you is a welcome addition to LTT.
Linus can't afford him.
He'd probabaly make a whole lot more doing what he does now than he would with Linus
between $30-$50 + an hour. It's also really not hard to find work as an electrician, it has the highest death rate in the construction field.

I really enjoy Linus's eagerness to learn. When he has someone that knows things he doesnt he gets all wound up. lots of respect for Linus's thirst for knowledge.
Looks like Brian gonna join in a short time Linus-Team...
Thats how success comes :-)
Linus media group becomes Linus everything group? Or they start an electricity related TH-cam channel
Well, it is not so difficult to install computer-stuff as an electrician.... Combine that with some Linus-Humor and thats it, next video is done for you guys.
He would have to get a huge pay cut to join Linus Tech Tips. Electricians make a good amount of money
@@malfaroangel3896 I'm sure LTT staff are well payed. I'm sure it would be similar. Hi Brian! I like your mojo.
That voice is gold!
9:32 JESUS CHRIST NEVER hold the back of the thing your screwing into, That looked like is missed your hand by half a centimeter...
Don't worry, that's Linus. He's probably immortal since he's still alive ;)
?? is the screw magically gonna fly through the board and into his hand at light speed?
@@AndrewBrowner more or less
@@AndrewBrowner no, it'll slowly and painful drill through his palm.
Or just use a screw that is shorter than 3 inches....
The longer this video goes on, the more I think Brian is not an electrician and is an LTT host who just cleared probation. 😂
My guess is he is Linus' friend or neighbour who happens to be an electrician. :D
In theory he could be both
Especially considering the visible lack of proper electrical tools, uninsulated screwdrivers, no wire strippers, etc etc.
@@Canuckrz don't know about Canada but in NZ that's standard sparky gear for the town contractor. Most of the "proper" tools are unnecessary, there was one old fella that cuts
through live wires with simple tin cutters since he knew what he was doing (don't try this at home kids)
@@HelloKittyFanMan. by simply watching the video, really. I mean every single plastic handle screwdriver that doesn't have some stupid metal running across the handle is insulated, but the ones sold for this very purpose had all the shaft covered in plastic as well, to avoid any slips or touching sides.
Yes, the Chevy Volt is discontinued. I purchased a used 2017 with around 20,000 miles on it and less than 1000 were gas. It seems like the previous owner was a "high-miler (obsessed with getting max electric range by frugal acceleration and breaking)" and the friction brakes felt like they had almost never been used. My new job is 40 miles away. New Job offered to install a charging port for me. I might get a second and in 2 years, I plan on getting a 2019.
"this is the corner of my garage with nothing flammable" 1:29 cans of paint on the floor 2 feet away from his charger
could be acrylic paint
Water based paint is far more common than oil based paint due to very fact it is,not very flammable.
And a hover board with Lithium-ion batteries in it that combust as soon as they come into contact with water...
+ cardboard box and wood wall
@@Cowcow211 Then instead you'll electrocute everything and consequently set the house on fire since its made out of wood. Even worse than oil based paint.
1:34
**Says he makes sure nothing is flammable**
**Literally has 3 cans of paint in the background**
and some clothing or something and a wooden door. The fire probably won't spread past the garage though.
Don't forget the cardboard box even closer in proximity
@Adamo Kóligo What?
@Adamo Kóligo 1) I have no idea what you are trying to say. 2) What the hell is "EOT"??
LINUS: “this is Bryan”
ME: “kinda looks like a chubby Chris Pratt”
BRYAN: “hello”
ME: “yep kinda sounds like him too”
chris pratt used to be chubby
I didn't realised this🤔
chubby star lord

Linus. If you still have the Volt you should know that it is not a hybrid but a full electric car known as an Extended Range Electric Vehicle. The gas generator only supplies electricity to run the electric motors in the car when required.
I can't believe your sponsor product's main feature is wide-angle RGB lighting.
wait the T-Force Xcalibur DDR4 Ram has Ultra-wide 120° angle lighting powered by T-FORCE BLITZ RGB software, decorated with a unique Totem pattern design, and Intel XMP 2.0 one step overclocking technology?
and you are telling me I can get a 16GB (2 x 8GB) kit for the low low price of $249.99
with $0.99 Shipping (restrictions apply)?
WOW! what a great deal!
Come on, this is Linus. He always advertises overpriced RGB something.
@@ahandlethatisnottaken ofcourse, he doesnt care what it is, he gets money from it
@@tibinicle thanks mr. sherlock.
@@ahandlethatisnottakenwell it seems you needed this very obvious fact, since you make it look like you think he chooses what he advertises
How many of Brian's tools did Linus steal by putting them in his back pocket?
Maby all his tools
well he is an electrician so he probably stole more tools from linus xD
Is it Brian or Bryan?
"Nothing flammable"
*has paint and cardboard boxes near*
also has house made of paper and wood
@@synceware1453basically all of the us does lol
Also,a freezer that has refidgerant in it which is flamable,and explosive
Also the "hoverboard."

Thank you sandalguy, very cool

Why are you using armoured cable indoors ?
Safety, because it's going into the attic which is accessible and it'd be technically exposed otherwise
@@casualdanger Here in europe we only use armoured in farm installations
flinny OwO here in the middle east we don’t know what that is
Because it's linus proof
Cause it’s tuff like ASUS tuff

They didn't pay that contractor enough to deal with Linus... smh
FOR REAL
Nah you use contractor pricing. I do the work and you watch +10%, I do the work and you suggest things +15%, I do the work and you help +25%.
Not like the next person that sees someone called "Brian" that knows of this video will get him work or anything like that.
He seemed to be having a great time, and he's paid hourly... I wouldn't worry about it too much.
lol, I kill my main before touching the fuse-box too. Unless I'm just resetting a breaker or something, but I don't add/remove breakers with it hot, so I'm with ya there, Linus. Clean install for sure!
What is this about car reviews? lol, This was a year and a half ago and I haven't seen any car reviews here!
At 9:40 ... I was just waiting for a trip to the ER when he drills into the palm of his hand..
Mark they were screws. Not much risk of drilling into his hand. He did do plenty of stuff wrong though haha
I was cringing when I saw that.
I knew this comment would be here already... kinda of proud of myself
As a professional electrician, I approve of this electrician. Also he's fun af and does well on camera
Rory Christel he might be a great guy, but his electrical practices are way off. One, he should of isolated the entire switchboard before removing the panel, two, was was not using the correct screw drivers.
daniel5620 regular klien screwdrivers are fine on 120VAC, it's more than sufficient insulation for that voltage. And lol at isolating a breaker panel, how green are you?
@@daniel5620 Uncommon in Canada to turn off panels when working on them. Uninsulated screwdrivers are also the norm here. Both practices are changing slowly. We rely heavily on our CSA steeltoe boots which are 10000v rated as long as they have the omega symbol present.
Daniel M honestly, you're not using your boots. Pretty much any pair of thick rubber soles would work at these voltages. I can grab a live 277VAC wire while wearing my Vibram sole McRae's and still not get hit, as long as I'm mindful about where the rest of my body is.
totally forgot your on 120 try that on 250 in the uk and its all kinds of fun
I have the same car, same year, same color! Just FYI: the stock charger is capable of level 2 charging with a cheap $60 adapter. Should add that in and save people some money! No need for a large charger.
Still though, if you're going to invest in an electric car and intend to eventually replace it with another electric, it makes sense to install the permanent charger on its own breaker. Plus you won't forget to bring the stock charger with you on longer journeys because you just keep it in the car.
Props to Linus on Being Safe, The Electrician can loose his license because of working on live wire without proper equipment, arc flash burns are the worse.
I had an electrician install my Clipper Creek level 2 charger for my Chevy Volt. I switched from an electric range to a gas one because I prefer them and that freed up a 30 amp 220V breaker on my panel. The job only took an hour and so far so good....!!
"This is the corner where I charge things. I have one of those old hoverboards so I make sure there is nothing flammable near it" - *Literally has a cardboard box a foot away* xD
13:47 NOOO WHAT IF THE BLADE SLIPS AND YOU SLIT YOUR WRIST? WE LOVE YOU TOO MUCH LINUS WE CANT AFFORD TO LOSE YOU AND YOUR STRONG INDEPENDENT ASS WHO DOSENT USE ANYONE ELSE'S WOOD
Nikhil Seenivas T K ya I was cringing there. His wrist was so close!
I wish I would have seen this before doing mine. However, I got it done and it works well. Made sure everything was done safely and right after research. That’s it. Do your research.
so this is the electrician equivalent of linus
No, the electrian seems to know what he's doing.
@@NuncNuncNuncNunc So does Linus in the tech field.
ThierryTheuns I laughed out loud at your comment lol.

Little "nerd-fact": One of the founders of Siemens was Werner von Siemens and he is considered the founder of modern electrical engineering, especially the electrical energy technology. As an honour, the unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance and electric admittance, Siemens (S), is named after him.
I was shocked Linus apparently did not know this.
This video is a whole big sexual innuendo LOL
@Eclipse538 7:00
Stopped watching after the second. Gets a bit cringy when every single LTT is laced with them.
95% of my job as an electrician
@Nathan Dentry idem lol
This whole channel is a big sexual innuendo.
wow, i like the armored cable. We have nothing like that where i live. But that breaker box looks so old fashioned. We are lightyears ahead here. ( yes, i am a sparky )
When linus was cutting the cable with the stanley knife and his wrist directly behind it I am pretty sure my heart stopped for a second.
Also when he was putting the screws in with his palm behind the board
9:40 drills screw into his own hand. JESUS LINUS!!!!
And 2 minutes later he's giving instruction on how not to disembowel yourself with a carpet knife, it's so adorable, like watching your apprentice try and drive boom lift, or a fawn taking it's first steps.
If the screws are shorter than the wood it doesn't matter. He's an idiot but he's not stupid
@@Rattus375 if you screw if for too long it can drive itself deeper than head level, especially in soft, humid wood
@@shishkebab64 True but I don't recon that's a likely scenario if you pick the right screws and use half a brain cell while doing your work. And then ofc a clutch drill helps with this.
@@boomerangfreak manufacturers create something fool proof and world invents a better fool
Linus Tech Tips has gone 10000x better recently. Now move on to real analog electrical engineering!
Hi Linus! Love your content! I'm a Tesla owner if that blue wire is ground please wire it up because an EV charger without ground a storm away from frying.
Estimated charge by this LV2 set up for the volt is 2.5 hours tops :) welcome to the EV community that was a wise purchase
The blue wire is not ground and is not required in this installation.
Brian has a sexy deep manly-man voice, like warm marmalade on toast. In comparison, Linus sounds like a Xmas elf
p.s. cats are assumed dead?! D=
hmmn.......not
I want him to read me bedtime stories.

Index of some of the innuendos:
4:00 I just know where it's going and I . . .
4:35 I think all the access holes are kind of in use here . . . Oh wait, I see one!
5:20 OK, so you're going to stick a screwdriver up?
5:25 Oh Hi there, have you met my friend, Mr. Pokey?
5:30 OK, now you can poke something through a hole . . . OK, can it be black and really thick? . . . I'm gonna say yes. . . . Yeah you are! It's properly sheathed; It's ribbed for her pleasure! . . . Oh my god it's really long! . . . That's Good . . . OK, you've had enough have you?
6:45 I actually have wood as well . . . You got wood Linus?
7:10 It might not be straight, but it's 22 inches long right now . . .
7:45 I'm going to get my drill!
8:00 I've got my own screws, their just as good as your screws . . . Which Screws shorter, Linux? . . . Their actually slightly shorter, but not in a way that matters. . . . It's not as thick either, Linus.
8:30 All right, who's screw is longer now, bring your's back!
9:55 Oh! So, that's all the fun bits inside!
10:15 So at this point you just stick it in there . . .
